Chance to Shine

Chance to Shine is a national charity on a mission to spread the power of cricket throughout schools and communities.

It takes cricket to new places and uses it to ignite new passions, teach vital skills, unite diverse groups, and educate young people from Cornwall to Cardiff to County Durham.

Since 2005 the Chance to Shine Schools programme has helped reverse the decline in cricket in state schools. Working in close partnership with all 39 County Cricket Boards and hundreds of local cricket clubs, it has got three million boys and girls in over 11,000 schools playing and learning through cricket.

In the past 11 years it has proven that cricket has the power to bring young people from all walks of life together and teach life skills that will stay with them forever. Chance to Shine is committed to giving all young people the chance to play it, learn from it and enjoy it.

In Durham, Chance to Shine is delivered by us through our expert team of professional coaches.

With 12 years’ experience in delivering Chance to Shine in schools, our team have all the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure both you as a teacher and the children in your care, have a fantastic experience being involved in the Chance to Shine scheme.
